Christopher Linsmayer, the husband of Denver District Attorney Beth McCann, is facing charges in Grand County that he violated a burn ordinance in November. He also is suspected of igniting a September wildfire that prompted evacuations near Kremmling.

Linsmayer, 65, is accused of two counts of having an open fire without a permit, a violation of a county ordinance, court records show.

“I understand there has been an ordinance violation charge filed,” McCann said in a statement to The Denver Post. “My husband is cooperating fully with local authorities.”
